Summary: Mogl's concept is simple, even though it touches upon big consumer tech trends from mobile to gamification, loyalty to social entrepreneurship. Like Tom's Shoes--which donates a pair of shoes for each pair sold-- Mogl donates a meal for a meal. Users punch in their credit card info. When they pay with that card at Mogl member restaurant, an alert pops up their phone with 10% cash back. She can then decide to take the cash back or donate it to a local food bank. Founder and CEO Jon Carder also gets honest about his past stumbles as an entrepreneur, and how Google can better partner with companies that rely upon its tools. Plus, on Ask Jason, how to get noticed as a remote developer and balancing home life with startup life.
